Granny’s sweet potatoes with peanut butter and marshmallows

Step 1/3

• 1 sweet potatoes

• peeler
• cutting board
• knife

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into approx. 5-cm/2-inch. chunks, much like you would when making mashed potatoes.

Step 2/3

• ½ tbsp unsalted butter

• pot (large)

Add sweet potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Add the butter. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat for approx. 20 – 30 min. (time depends on size of chunks). They are done when you can easily stick a fork through them. Don't overcook. Drain about three quarters of the water from your pot and return to stove.

Step 3/3

• 125 g creamy peanut butter
• ½ tbsp maple syrup
• ½ tbsp vanilla extract
• 25 g brown sugar
• 150 g marshmallows

• whisk

Add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to pot. Stir until mixed well. Turn heat down to low. If it seems a bit runny, add some more peanut butter to help thicken it (you may also want to add a little more maple syrup to taste). Add mini marshmallows to cover top of the pot and turn off heat after a few minutes. Once marshmallows have melted a bit, they are ready to serve. Alternatively, transfer sweet potatoes to a baking tray, top with mini marshmallows, and transfer to a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F, and bake for approx. 10 min., or until marshmallows are browned. Enjoy!

Enjoy your meal!
